Complimentary v
Saturday's issue of the Columbia
Register contained the following
complimentary notice of our popular
young townsman, Mr. John Lake :
Th< last of a series of Y. M. C. A.
meetings was held at South Carolina
College last night. The meetings
were conducted by Mr. John Lake, the
secretary of the Edgefield County Y.
M. C. A, and were very successful.
Mr. Lake is an earnest and forceful
speaker, wi til a cultured mind and a
.warm christian heart. The students
were charmed with him and his talks.
Mr. Lake returned to Edgefield 'this
morning.
Bitten by a Mad Dog.
It if'reported that a little son of Mr.
Walter Brimson was bitten by a mad
dog one day last week. Mr. Branson
lives at the former home of his father,
the late Rev. D. D. Bru nson. The lit
tle fellow was playing on the side of
the road, all unsuspicious of barm,
when suddenly a dog which was com
ing alo~ng the road jumped at him and
bit bim on true lip. The dog was said
to be foaming at the mouth, which is
one of the symptoms of hydrophobia,
but this same symptom is produced by
strychnine poison, and it is hoped the
* dog did not have hydrophobia. Since
writingthe above, we near that Mr.
Brunson^has carried the little sufferer
to a Mrs. Gibson, in Georgia, who owns
a mad stone, and that several applica
tions of the stone were made to the |
wound.
?Pearce & Allen.
For'the first time these young gen
tlemen fling their banner to the breeze
in the ADVEKTiSKR. Their announce
ment in another columnis simple but-1
solid; for instance they say : "We do
n6t?require you to buy, but only to sat
isfy you wiat we have a nicer selection
than you can get anywhere in town."
"That "?s a very simple statement of
facti hot it means a great deal to the
purchaser. Again they say : "We also
carry "a largc'lfne of ladies* and gents'
shoes, the best, without any exception,
ever brought to .this plac?.*' What a
sermon in that short sentence, reader,
for" y ou ! And so on to the end of the
chapter. Pearce & Allen make no
sensational announcements of shoddy
goods cheap for cash, and. all that sort
of 'Stuff, but they tell you, in a few
short, simple sentences, what they be
lieve to be the gospel truth about
their goods. Go and see them, and our
word for it, you will never cease to
kick yourself , for not having gone, be
fore.
No One Responded.
Senator Hill, who is making a tour
of the South to strengthen his chances
fo? the Presidency, passed over the
Richmond and Danville road last Sat
urday. A telephone message was sent
to Edgefield stating that the Senator
would deliver a ten minutes' speech at
Johnston and that any one desiring to
hear him could come over.jNo one re
sponded. But ?D along the line of the.
Richmond anid ^Danville ro?d from
Granitevilie to Lexington, at every
little station thereof, he received what
might be called an impromptu; Edge
field ovation. In fact the Senator him
self, before it was announced to him
that be had reached her classic soil,
said, "From all I've read in song or
story I believe upon my soul I'm in
Edgefield eoanty." The Senator" was
right. They crowded on at every sta
tion, they filled the "platforms, they
flattened their noses against the win
dows of th? "fcy?rs, they whooped and
they-; hollered, they yelled and they
bellowed, they said, "Whar is that

C?n't Catch* a Lie,
One day last week a Lie broke
out of its inclosure over in Bun
combe and started to travel.
And the man who owned the
' Premises saw it after it had started
and was sorry he had not made
the enclosure Lie-tight.
So he called his swiftest Truth
and said :
"Lie has got loose and will do f
much mischief if it is not stopped. c.
I want you to go after it aud bring 1
back or kill it!"
So the swift Truth started out 1
after the Lie.
" But the Lie had one hour the | '
Start. f
At the end of the first Day the J
Lie was going Lickety-split. The *
Truth was a long way behind.it 6

FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
)f Financial Matters in a
Friendly Way-by a Free-Lance
Financier.
MR. EDITOR : Allow me to give
itterance to my views as to the
luggestions of the present grand
ury in regard to an amendmeat
>f the law prohibiting specula
ion in county claims.
I fully concur with the grand
ury that the law should be
imended so as to prevent either
he county attorney, or anyone
lee who has the power to pase
ipon a claim presented, from buy
ng county papers.
Human nature is the same the
rorld over. Therefore to prevent
[ambling in county finances,
rhich always inures to the benefit
if the speculator rather than the
ounty, there should be a statu
ory safeguard absolutely prob, i fa
ting such speculation.
I do not. wish to be personal in
oy charges, and I would not of
end any one purposely, but still
; spade is a spade and by no
.ther name would smell so sweet.
It has been charged that snug
ittle fortunes have been made by
ounty attorneys in many coun
ies of the State at the expense of
he public. We know this is a
egitimate business so far as the
aw is concerned, but it is iii bad
aithi for the lawyer to fatten on
lis own client, and I know the
awyer, if he looked at it in the
?roper light, would pause for a
Qoment. But all men in this
apid agc desire to become rich ;
lenee all are prone to invade the
ights of their fellow man, as are
he sparks prone to fly upward.
I take this view of all county
natters, that each citizen who
?ays taxes should look after the
ounty finances just as he would
?f his own affairs.
I find upon enquiry that about
wenty thousand ($20,000) dol
ars worth of county script is sold
Lnnually at from 10% to 20% dis
:ount, and frequently for only a
nonth's discount. Thus two
housand dollars at least, are
hrown into the pockets of the
ipeculatore at the expense of the
lear people ; and I know of my
)wn knowledge and belief that
Augusta Banks have advanced
noney on this script to individ
?als and the speculator or Shylock
iud the bank divided the spoils.
Now why cannot the county
jorrow this money at 7% and save
;he profit of three uer cent or evec
jix per cent? To illustrate:
Suppose the county on the firsl
lay of December is twenty thou
sand dollars behind, let the county
lorrow this sum from banks at 7%
;he interest would be $1400 and
;hus save to the people $600, at
east, per annum. But you ask :
'how does the county profit by
;his transaction?" The answer ?E
jimple : Suppose the county, aftei
;he September freshet of 1888, had
?eeded $20,000 to rebuild the
?iridges, and the county commis
ioners had informed all bidders
[hat they were rebuilding the
bridges on 12 months time don't
yow kuow the bridge builders
would have added 20% to theil
bids that the speculators charge
for cashing county script? Foi
instance a $1,000 bridge woulc
cost $1200 and so on. While if th<
money was borrowed the bridg<
would cost the the county $1070
a clear saving of $130 for a singh
bridge. This proposition is s<
simple it needs no luther elucida
tion.
In writing this article, I meai

practice of speculating in count]
paper, and to uphold the hands o
the grand jury, and bociusn i:

DENNY'S DOINGS.
IA Budget of Newsy News Item
From "Bud."
MR. EDITOR :^\0n Wednesday
morning last the dawn of day re
vealed the ghastly form of John
son Peterson, a somewhat fuss;?
negro character of our community
cold in death lying a few yardi
from the public road, some 30(
paces from Dennys. Examinatioi
soon proved that his light had heei
knocked out by a pistol ball, taking
effect squarely in the heart. Thi
Squire was summoned, a jurj
sworn in, and two days consum?e
trying" to ascertain who the guiltj
party or parties were, but in vain
No direct proof could be had am
finally a verdict "that the de
ceased had come to his death by i
gun shot in the hands of an un
known party," was rendered. How
I ever, suspicion anri circumstancia
j evidence were great enough to havi
a young. mulatto negro, Piel
Smith, arrested, and we suppos*
he is now enjoying the luxuries o:
the county jail. Peterson wai
noted for the pretty scrapes h<
had been in and was killed fo:
some of his deviltry. At first i
seemed as if his colored brethrei
would not even bury him, but be
ing encouraged financially, at las
condescended to put him away.
The smoke-house of Mr. Willi*
Crawford, of the Butler section
during his absence at court las
week, was entered and robbed o
five middlings of meat, some flour
sugar, and various other edibles o
I a substantial nature. No clue ai

We are also informed that Mr
Hardy Crouch, of the same sec
tion, has recently been the loser o:
some fifteen or twenty bushels o:
corn. We also hear that he hai

The members of Butler Churcl

FASHION NOTES.
Silk brai'd fringes for wraps, and
dresses are the fashion.
The floral panier and the peasant
bodice, made wholly of small roses,
accompanying ball toilets, are
short lived absurdities.
The latest style of arranging the
hair for full dress is the "Mme.
de Sevigne." The hair is waved
over the head, then arranged . in
easy braids at the back with a
cluster of light curls falling from
the cen tre of the knot.
Some very beautiful cloth
fabrics for winter wraps have raised
designs in shaded velvet. Rough
surfaced cloths fifty inches wide
show flecked effects in fine brilliant
colorings. Venetian cloths appear
woven with fur or shaggy camel's
hair borders.
Sleeves are being made with
wris trimming to fall over the back
of the hands, as they were in the
daysof the Plantagenets. The
fashion is decidedly the thing for
women who have large hands and
wrists. The coat sleeve, however
neat looking, is in its severity, in,
imical to broad wrists and hands
inclined to be red.
One ox the. novell ?es pf the
winter is the Russian blouse of
cloth or velvet belted closely and
edged with fur. This new blouse
is a long, staight garment of sim
plest shape and belted all around,
or else the back may be fitted and
the front left without darts, its
fullness, confined by tho belt,
giving a blouse effect.
Simple and lovely evenning
dresses foryoung girls are of soft
white Japanese crepe that has deep
crimson crinkles and a very soft,
silky surface." They are made
with a baby waist, with two frills
of chiffon falling from the low,
round neck and caught up high on
the shoulders. The skirt is round
and full and barely touches the
floor.
Bretelles appear upon many of
the new toilets designed both for
children, misses and slender
matrons. Some are made of the
dress goods, others of bongaline,
surah, etc. "retelles of lace, velvet
or silk ar seen that are a mere
point at the waist-line, widening
to almost cover the shoulders.
Thence the}- pass to the back of
the heck in full flowing plaits
like a Stuart frill.
The handsome robe dresses of
ladies' cloth ?mbroiderd along the
selvages, or trimmed with applique
velvet and bits of fur, aro reduced
to at least one-third of their orignal
prices, and arc commendable pur
chses in all the rich winter dyes,
and in the more delicate tints of
golden brown, dove color, Suede,
chamois, beige, fawn and turquoise
blue.
Queen Victora still wears a hat,
that is, when she chooses. She ap
peared in one about a month ago
in one of her daily drives : "said
headgear," . writes an American
lady, "being a sort of drab brown
straw, adorned with a feather
which had once been white, but
which the smoke and fog of Lon
don had just as thoroughly demor
alized as if it had bobbed and nod
ded upon the head of the lowliest
of the Qneeu'8 subject."
The chief novelty in gloves lies
in the new shades made for evening
wear, which inclu.de ficelle and
heliotrope, and the new tones of
drab and beaver intended for day
wear. Foremost among them are
imitation buckskin gloves. The
antelope is a newer kind, and
several new forms of gauntlets are
drawn in at the wrist with elastic,
and have pricked seamB, which
means that the needle is passed
through 'the two edges, and the
leather is not overlaid as in pique
sewn.
A variety of pretty things is
done with striped silks. An ex
ample is a dress of white and orange
striped moire, with which orange
orange velvet is used. The skirt
frontis of the moire,with the stripes
meeting in Vs down the middle ;
the sides and train are of velvet.
The corsage is a corselet of bias
striped with a half-open drapeay
of white lace above ; on this drapery
are short rounded Spanish jacket
fronts of moire. The lace sleeves
are very full, and terminate just
above the elbow.

When he nad grip a little wine,
I'm almost sure it's not a prime.

And give them all the dots collected
From then till Tillman is elected.
Stir up the boys and stir them duly,
And then believe me yours most truly
